Carol's Story
I'm putting my first book of poetry together. I've been asked many times to put them all together. They soon will be. Here is one of the most recent poems I wrote after being given the new that am indeed a cancer surviror of Ovarian Cancer.
Why Me?
Copyright 2008 by Carol Notermann
The tech had said excuse me.. I¿ll be back in just a bit.
I lay there with my hand in God¿s, and hoped this wasn¿t it.
A man walked in ¿to take a look¿ and it was then I knew
That this cancer that I feared, was now in my life too.
¿OH GOD! WHY ME? I¿m so not brave.¿
I screamed inside my brain.
My family, my life, came rushing by ¿
Like a loud and speeding train.
I turned to God, still holding tight the hand that held to mine.
And then the Lord did answer. His answer so sublime.
¿WHY NOT?¿ He said - as he still held tightly to my hand.
¿I¿ll never let ...Expand for more
you go - see there are my footprints in the sand.¿
And together we did walk through those next two busy years.
He gave me a special doctor - a doctor with no fears.
I listened and followed the doctor. His smile was warming to see.
He and the staff at the clinic, were smiling always at me.
And soon came the words I had prayed for, the words that filled me with glee.
¿You Carol are a ¿survivor¿. All tests show you¿re still cancer free.¿
I smiled and I laughed and I hugged, this doctor who God blessed with skill.
There are no good words to thank him, but I know in prayer that I will.
Then my mind went to the others, the ones who fought till the end.
They fought quietly, valiantly then went home to the Lord in the end.
¿OH GOD! WHY ME?¿ Why have I been so blessed? Why me?
¿WHY NOT?¿ was His simple response, and His Glory was all I could see.
